My family and I visited the Foshay Museum (on the top floor of the Foshay Tower) in March. We had planned to go on a Sunday (so we wouldn’t have to rush). The weather gods were not with us, as it was a windy and rainy day. Regardless, we went. After viewing the exhibits I proceeded to the observation deck. I went around the building twice, capturing non-HDR and HDR images, as clouds moved in and out continuously.

On the way out I photographed the atrium area on the ground level. A large chandelier with clear beads of various sizes caught my eye so I let my camera explore it. The resulting images were merged with CS5 HDR Pro, then tonemapped with Photomatix 4, and back to CS5 for final touches.
